  11. Did Wetherspoons open on the 5th September 2011?

There is a web site giving all the Wetherspoons pubs and the dates they opened :- https://www.ucl.ac.uk/~ccaajpa/pubs-spoons.html?fbclid=IwAR2WbwmPN-7TFbLoDRZmBKmEzoGbLSMwHBl_cJTHJfq5kznwhimzYf_-th0 It lists the local pubs as :- Northumberland: (6) Ashington: Rohan Kanhai, 1-4 Woodhorn Road, Ashington, Northumberland.
